Two men suffered serious injuries when gang members shot them in Edgewood early Sunday, state police said.
Minutes after the 5 a.m. shootings, troopers arrested two men described as members of the Crips gang, and both were charged with attempted murder.
Troopers, responding to reports of gunfire on the 1400 block of Meadowood Court, found Enoch Richardson, 29, with gunshot wounds to his hip and lower leg, and Kevin Goode, 23, who had been shot in the buttocks. James L. Sims III, 28, was with them but was not hit by a bullet, said Greg Shipley, a state police spokesman. The victims? last known addresses were in northeast Baltimore.
Richardson and Goode were flown to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, where they remained in serious condition Sunday afternoon.
Shipley said troopers investigating the shooting learned that the 21-year-old suspects, Larry D. Pollin, of Churchville, and Terrell D. Walton, of Edgewood, had run into a town house farther down Meadowood Court. The owner of the home, an ex-girlfriend of one of the suspects, refused to let troopers inside, but Pollin and Walton surrendered to officers who had surrounded the house while waiting for a search warrant, Shipley said.
Pollin and Walton were charged with three counts each of attempted first- and second-degree attempted murder, first-degree assault and reckless endangerment.
A search of the house Sunday afternoon turned up an AK-47 rifle, believed to have been used in the shooting, Shipley said. No motive has been established.
Two town houses in the Windsor Valley development are used by the Harford County Sheriff?s Office as field offices for an anti-gang task force and Community Enforcement Response Team, but no deputies were in the office at the time of the shooting, said Sgt. Christina Presberry, a Harford County Sheriff?s Office spokeswoman.
